Confirm the first calibration cross at the point of intersection, follow
the calibration crosses, and confirm at each point of intersection.
Calibrating serves to capture the values for the screen. The print and position are provided in the process and are harmonized with the screen coordinates.
If the screen is not exactly calibrated after starting the controller (cursor
position in another position when selecting on the screen), you have to calibrate it. Do the following to achieve this:
1.
2.
22
Select „setup“ in the Cross-Over Area.
Select Calibrate.
Tip:
If you hit the calibration cross only approximately with simple tapping, you
can achieve a better stylus action by placing the stylus next to the calibration cross on the touchscreen and without letting go of it pull to the calibration cross, and after that lift the stylus from the touchscreen.
If the calibration procedure is not successful, it may be necessary to connect a mouse to the USB port in order to be able to start the calibrating
again.
Locomotive Registration
Locomotive Registration Using a Locomotive Card
(not for mfx+® and mfx® locomotives)
The locomotive card is a card with the format of a check card.
Three locomotive cards come with the controller. Additional locomotive
cards are available at your dealer under item number 60135.
Two cards have locomotives (diesel and steam locomotive) stored on them
as samples.
One card is still empty. The configuration for a locomotive of your choice
can be stored on empty cards and transferred for example to another controller. If you want to stored locomotive data on a card, you should first
change to the configuration mode and then insert the card into the slot.
When the locomotive card is inserted into the controller (See „Backside
of the Controller“ for the card slot; insert the card so that the visible and
readable locomotive data image is facing up), the locomotive stored on it
previously is immediately registered. The settings for a locomotive stored
on the locomotive card can be changed in the configuration for the locomotive. After that, the changes must be transferred to the locomotive card
and stored there. The locomotive card offers a maximum of 6 KB of storage
space for the locomotive icon.

Running Locomotives and Switching Functions
Running a Locomotive M
DCC
mfx ®
A locomotive‘s speed can be determined in several ways. One of them here is setting it by means
of the control knob. The speed is increased by turning the knob to the right; turning to the left reduces the speed. Pressing on the control knob once
will change the direction and stop the locomotive.
The speed can also be changed by guiding the stylus on the speedometer (large locomotive controller). To do this, tap briefly on the desired speed or
guide the speedometer needle to that point. Guide
the speedometer needle back to reduce the speed
or tap on the zero to stop the locomotive.
Control
Switching Locomotive Functions
Locomotive functions are switched by means of function buttons or selected by clicking on the display.
An overview of the available symbols can be found in the appendix.
Function Registration:
Locomotives with mfx® decoders:
The functions are automatically displayed after the locomotive is registered.
Locomotives from the database:
The functions are displayed with suitable function symbols.
Manually created locomotives:
The functions are represented as F0 - F15. Function symbols can be assigned in the locomotive configuration. See Page 30.
The following pages in this section show additional configuration steps
for a locomotive / locomotive decoder and are relevant only for advanced
users.
Another possibility for controlling the speed is the
speed level controller (SL, small locomotive controller). The speed is selected by sliding or tapping
on the bar indicator and can also be read or selected when you are in „Locomotive Selection“.
Changing direction by means of the display is done

If you do not know the locomotive address for your locomotive, you can
read it out in „Locomotive Configuration“ (for MM and DCC).
When the icon „Address“ is chosen in „Locomotive Selection, the controller changes to another type of locomotive controller (mfx® locomotives see
note on Page 38).
This locomotive controller enables you to control a locomotive by entering
a locomotive address. (The keypad will be on the left or right operating side
depending on the side previously selected).
The address will be recognized and shown in „Locomotive Address“. The
settings for the coding switches will also be shown.

Check the decoder type and the protocol setting.
Select the name and type name for the solenoid item (from the selection palette) as you desire and then confirm the changes.
You can test (switch the accessory item) your changes in advance after saving them by means of „Test“.
Programming Advanced Color Light Signals
No trains should be run during programming.
A new signal must first be programmed in order to operate it digitally. The
programming process is aborted if no data is entered within 30 seconds.
You must first assign an address (see Setting up Solenoid Accessory Items)
in order to program signals. The switching duration for this process should
be set at 1000 milliseconds.
Change to the configuration window and press on „Save the Changes“.
Please confirm the questions that appear after that.
Make sure that the wire bracket covered in cardstock (programming bracket) is hooked onto the underside of the signal base (decoder). Otherwise,
you cannot do any programming.
An important thing when setting up the signals is that you select the corresponding advanced color light signal from the list.
The addresses can basically be used in mixed operation.
You can decide per address which protocol will be used with it.
The following pages in this section show additional programming for special solenoid accessory items and are relevant only for advanced users.
46
Keyboard
Power to the layout and programming track is interrupted by pressing the
STOP button and the signal can be connected to the layout.
After that, the power is restored by pressing the STOP button again.
Now the signal begins to blink in the active programming mode.
Click now on the Central Station the relevant signal aspects one after the
other.
Signal Number Overview:
76391 -> Hp 1
76395 -> Hp 1 and the home signal that belongs to the distant signal
76393 -> Hp 1 / Hp 2
76395 -> Hp 1 / Hp 2 and the home signal that belongs to the distant signal
76394 -> Hp 1 / Hp 2 / Sh 1
76371 -> Sh 1
76392 -> Sh 1
When there is a distant signal mounted on a home signal, the former must
also be programmed.
Wait until only the distant signal is blinking. Then operate the home signal
that belongs to the distant signal.
When the signal begins to switch between the signal aspects, the programming process is finished. You can now unclip the signal and remove
the programming bracket.
The switching duration must now be changed to 250 milliseconds. This is a
long enough switching duration for regular train operations. The location
for the signal on the layout can now be chosen to fit your needs and the
signal can be connected to the layout track. The signal now receives its
switching commands directly from the track.
Keep the programming bracket in a safe place. It will be required again
for changes in the signal‘s address.

You can also give the MS1 the name of your choice („Rename“).
When you are using several CS2 controllers, one of them must be operated
as the main controller and the others must be used as secondary controllers (slave) (connection by means of the 60123 cable).
After you have selected the setting „Secondary Controller“ and have set
the check mark (in single-controller operation remove this check mark, since otherwise no Mobile Station or mfx® locomotives can register themselves), you can continue determining whether there is to be synchronization between the devices and the master controller.
If the Master/Slave connection is undone again, the original data for the
controller unit will be still be there.
66
The MS2 has automatic access to all locomotives and solenoid accessory
items. Configuration is not necessary.
Configuration of the CS1
Please note that the controller is still not immediately set up after turning
on the network connection. You should therefore wait about 1-2 minutes
after starting up the controller before you check or edit the settings for
the IP address. The connection by means of a cable between the two devices should be done before turning the system on.
Connection via a Cable (directly).
Use a crossed network cable (Cross-Over-Patch-Cable) when making connections with the Central Station 1. Set both devices manually to the following IP addresses (See section „IP“). The CS1 to IP address 192.168.1.55
and the CS2 to IP address 192.168.1.53 (preset).
Connection via a Network (indirectly via a router).
When making the connection via a network both controllers must be set to
automatic address assignment (See section „IP“). When a DHCP server is
active, the IP addresses are automatically assigned.
Confirmation can be made after the IP address has been entered.
If necessary, take the configuration (locomotives and solenoid accessory
items) from the CS1.

Configuration of Devices
Configuration Info
Devices with automation or feedback are listed on this page.
An external device can be selected when selecting an S88 contact. If this
device is to be swapped out (such as in the event of a defect), the new device must thus be provided with the old identification of the device that has
been removed. This can be set or swapped out on this page.
Information about other devices connected to the system can be queried
on the Info page on the controller. In addition, you can also set or select a
transformer here that is being used in the system.
Setting your transformer that is being used is done by means of „Transformer“.
A suitable transformer must be set since otherwise when the system is
turned off or in the event of voltage peaks, there may be loss of data. If the
output of your transformer is not enough, add a Booster to your layout.

in a register named „cs2/wave/“.
These sounds can also be incorporated into routes. More information
about this can be found in the help function.
The basis for time-controlled processes in the controller has been realized
with model time.
Model time finds application with its representation in

every 5 seconds. If you want this to be updated faster, you can set the interval down to 1 second (Status-Query-Interval). This may result however
in slowing down of the data transmission to the layout.
If you would like to connect a USB mouse to the controller, the mouse pointer must be activated here. Only use the touchscreen. Then you can deactivate it.
It is possible to generate pages in the Layout that are larger than the screen
area for displaying them. The Layout shift must be activated (without check
marks) so that these pages can be operated.
The desired language can be selected in the language field. Some languages require that the controller be rebooted in order that the language take
full effect.
You can select at Theme, which background is to be displayed on the controller, for example Landscape_1.
The screen background then changes after confirming the selection.
The mouse pointer should be activated in order to calibrate the controller.

Setup
Track Configuration
S88 Configuration
The behavior of the control knob can be influenced with the rotary encoder dynamics. The speed levels (direct address) change depending on
whether the knob is turned quickly or slowly. This can be an advantage for
the advanced user. However, we recommend turning this off.
Up to 64 feedback modules (S88 Bus and CAN Bus) can be connected to
the controller. The first module is connected directly to the controller and
the others are connected in sequence to the first one. Additional notes
about the S88 clock and the S88 query-interval can be found in the help
function.
If „accelerate locomotives automatically“ is selected, all operating states
and selected functions on the locomotives will be saved and reproduced
again when the system is turned on again. This should only happen in automatic operations with block safeguards.
If many locomotives are running when the system is shut down, it can be
some time until all are „reproduced“ again after the system is turned on.
The controller may be sluggish during this time.
Several track formats can be operated simultaneously with the controller.
We recommend however selecting only one format if possible, since this
course will offer the highest level of operating reliability.
Debug Configuration
The setting for tracing (troubleshooting) is only intended for internal use at
the factory.

World of Operation
The WORLD OF OPERATION from Märklin offers more operating enjoyment
due to expanded functions!
Märklin has therefore undertaken further development of the mfx decoder.
The Märklin WORLD OF OPERATION stands ready with the mfx+® decoders for operations close to the prototype. Your controller offers a wide
variety of possibilities for this to simulate locomotive functions and running
with real model locomotives.
Have a lot of fun with this new type of operating trains!

The consumption of fuel and other operating supplies is activated.
The operating surface of the controller is supplemented by the display of
the level of fuel and other operating supplies and by a button for taking on
fuel and other operating supplies. The higher the number here (0-255) during the consumption of the fuel and supplies, the faster the fill level is reduced.
2.
Select Mode of Operation and set the desire modes, send the setting
to the locomotive, and after that confirm it.
3.
The other operating possibilities in the WORLD OF OPERATION are activated after the selection is made and saved.

Press the pump icon to start the refueling procedure.
The fill level bar automatically goes up to the highest fill level.
Here the sand level is at „Sand 250 kg“ on an electric locomotive.
The refilling and refueling can be done while the locomotive is in operation.
When the locomotive is out of fuel and/or other operating supplies, the locomotive starts coasting and cannot be run at other speed levels until the
refilling and refueling is done (Fuel and operating supplies turns yellow).
In the advanced mode, you also have the possibility of having the locomotive cab(s) appear.
In Configuration, you select the Advanced Mode (send to the locomotive)
and then after confirming the choice you will get the cab icon in the control. Using the select feature here, you then go to the cab(s) for the type of
locomotive in question.
Refilling and Refueling is active.

Layout for Locomotive Handling (Maintenance Facility)
Sufficient boiler pressure must first be present before you can run a steam
locomotive. The firebox must be opened in advance and the boiler must be
filled with water.
The loading of the locomotives is offered with time lag in the Advanced or
Specialty Mode. The „Operating Supplies loading inactive“ icon appears
for this and offers the possibility of loading. The loading can also be activated by pressing on the supplies display. In the Specialist Mode this happens with track contacts.

Appendix
Glossary
Block Safeguarding
The train‘s path is divided into individual sections (or blocks), each of which
is safeguarded with a signal (contact). When a train enters a block, it switches the signal (contact) located behind it to red and prevents a faster, following train from coming upon it from behind. The so-called block signal
safeguarding the block is not set back to green until the section has been
traversed completely. The signal in the following block is set to red for this.
Each train leaves so to speak red signals behind it and thereby prevents a
collision from behind. In the opposite direction the next block in that direction is blocked so that there is not collision in the front.
Booster
This is an output booster for larger digitally controlled layouts. It is capable
of multiple protocols in conjunction with the 60213-60215 Central Station.
It is connected by means of the 7-pin data bus line directly to the 6021360215 Central Station. Several Boosters can be used in a system by means
of 60125 Terminals. The Booster automatically registers in the 60213-60215
Central Station. An LED on the Booster displays its status and the status is
shown graphically in the display for the 60213-60215 Central Station. Using
the 60061/60065 switched mode power pack gives the maximum output power of 58 VA and a maximum current of 3 amps (with a 60215 with a 60101
switched mode power pack you get a maximum current of 5 amps, recommended only for 1 Gauge. Make sure that you use wire with a cross section
of 0.5 mm² / 20 gauge wire or larger!).
Coupler Shifting
This describes the process of uncoupling cars with Telex couplers. Pressing down to take the load off a coupler – raising the coupler loop - reverse
direction and back away.
88
Ladder Track
This is the designation of the ladder-like division of one main track into se-
veral, parallel tracks. This is common at stations and particularly switching
yards with many tracks.
Multiple Unit (M.U.) Locomotive Combination
The assembling of several locomotives with similar running settings into
one locomotive combination.
Programming Track
The programming track is separated from the rest of the layout and is used
for contact reliability when programming. The use of a programming track
prevents disruptive factors from interfering with the programming procedures.
S88 Decoder (Feedback Decoder)
Feedback decoders are the „detectors“ in model railroad controls. Sensors such as photoelectric barriers, reed contacts, contact areas, or insulated track sections are connected to them.
Shuttle Train Route
A shuttle train route in most cases links two locations on a single-track
line. Shuttle train routes have the advantage of getting away from senseless running in circles. In addition, the layout for a shuttle route requires
only a little complexity. For analog operation, there are control modules for
automatic control of a shuttle train route. Corresponding feedback units
are required in digital operation. The existing digital main controllers rule
the control of the shuttle train, usually by means of a built-in shuttle train
control program.
Staging Yard
A staging yard is a group of storage tracks for complete trains that are under the scenery of the layout, on large layouts such as those of model railroad clubs also in a separate room. The entrance to the staging yard can
be camouflaged as a tunnel in the „mountains“ for example that leads to
the staging yard by means of a track spiral. There several trains can be stored by means of ladder tracks out of sight of the observer in order to make
Appendix
the running operations more varied due to temporary storing and swapping
of trains.
Staging Yard Control
Control of train sequences, tracks, and signals in a staging yard.
Transfer Table
A transfer table is used to connect a number of parallel tracks to each
other and to one or several exit tracks in the narrowest of space. A length
of track is arranged in front of the tracks to be pushed back and forth between them. Transfer tables have largely replaced turntables in the shift
from roundhouse locomotive sheds to rectangular locomotive sheds and
workshops with parallel track arrangements.
Turntable
A turntable is a setup for horizontally turning railroad locomotives and cars,
more rarely for road vehicles. This process was chiefly used for steam locomotives with a tender that could only travel at maximum speed in the
forward direction. In addition, turntables are used to save space when moving a locomotive or powered unit to a neighboring track such as in a locomotive shed.
